Language Usage Checklist for Exhibition

What will discussion sound like in Grade 5?

• We will use English in our groups UNLESS we need to translate the meaning of a word or phrase that needs clarification or elaboration.
• Then we will remember to switch back to English once we have clarified or elaborated our ideas.
• In partners, we will use English.
• When we are thinking solo we can use either English or Korean/Chinese.
• In teams, we will use English for all conversation unless we are clarifying the meaning of something.

BLOB TREE

             Fourteenth day to learn about PYPX

   

    Today blog task is looking BLOB TREE picture and write about why I am this person. In this picture they looks like different and they all having a different action. I think I am this person(What I circle) because our exhibition group member are 3 people. In this picture they all looks like friendly together. Our group members are very friendly each other too. In this picture they are all caring together so I think this picture will be me and our group because we are helping each other and caring! 

Choosing Team Name and First Mentor Meeting

              Thirteenth day to learn about PYPX

Today, we decide a group name and having a first mentors meeting!

GROUP NAME

Our group name is JYPWD. JYPWD meaning is...
J=  Jiyoung
Y= Yerin
P= Pollution
W=Water
D= Damdam

When we choose our team name it was fun because ..

In Korean JYP is famous company(entertainment). 

When I think WD I think it was Walt Disney. Our group was all laughing.

Choosing Our Exhibition Topic

           Twelfth day to learn about PYPX

What did I today?

Today in exhibition class we divide class to MA and RC. We worked with exhibition group members. Then we talk about witch topic what I am interesting at. There was four idea Child labor, Plastic Surgery, Water Pollution and playing Minecraft during class time. We talk and talk witch idea is good. We choose water pollution because water pollution is most important things around Jeju island. We write on PYPX hand book about what I already knew, topic connects, issues and think topic relates to what trans-disciplinary theme. Next we write Key concept questions but we don't have enough time so we can't finish it. We have some website a name managebac and we choose time for meeting with teacher mentor.

How well did I do? What worked? What do I need to improve?

I think I did well. Because I think I share many ideas with our members. I share topic what I am interesting at ... I think I need to improve on sharing more ideas.

What's my next plan?

My next plan is using less Korean. Don't forgive !!
